The Owner
Charles Hale owns and operates Driver 8 Records. He has been a life-long music fan and a radio DJ for parts of the last 25 years. Currently he hosts the Ajax Diner Book Club on Sunday nights on KRFC. Charles grew up in the fertile music grounds of Athens, Georgia. While his personal tastes will certainly be on display at Driver 8, the store’s inventory will stretch to include so much more.
Return/Exchange Policies
For Online Sales
Minor sleeve scuffs, slight warps and other cosmetic flows are unfortunately very normal with new records and as long as they don’t affect playability we are unable to accept exchanges for those reasons. Please note, skipping records can often be a result of the turntable or needle quality, not the record itself. This is especially true with brands like Crosely and Victrola.
Unopened, non-defective new records that are purchased online can not be exchanged, those sales are final.
If you have purchased a record that has a defect that affects playability please email [email protected] to discuss setting up an exchange. Returns must be requested within 14 days of receiving your record and must be mailed within 14 days of receiving the shipping label.
